    The line between getting "heel heat" and "X-Pac heat" is a fine one, but it's not easy nowadays for a talent playing a bad guy in a wrestling show. You inevitably get fan support because people dig a villain who does his own thing. Look at Randy Orton - he's doing the exact same thing he did when he was a villain. Now people cheer for him. Go figure.

    Sure, you hate Vickie's guts and think she shouldn't be on the show. But that's why she is still on WWE TV. Her character is suppose to set up obstacles and torment the good guys, and eventually she'll get what's coming to her.

    I love how people forget how a heel's job is to make you hate them, but WWE has a tednancy to annoy much more and push your attention away. That's why you all should be watching things like PWG or ROH instead.


    Talking about ROH, seems I'm sat on a gold mine. Just got offered $3000 (AUS) for my ROH DVD colection. Real tempted to sell :)

    Making you part of the 3% that I mentioned. :)  But seriously, it is annoying because she practically screams in her high pitch voice to anything she says. I don't want to even go into the question of what the hell did Edge see in her...she's not really that good looking.

    Think about it... Just replace "Virgil" with the racist word, and you can see what I mean. Maybe that is just how my mind is interpreting it. Not to mention, the fact that they started with R-Truth.

    So any of you wrestlin insiders know just wtf is up with Brian Daniels or Daniel Brians or whatever the hell the WWE is calling him? I'll be honest and say I'm surprised at what happened last night, but I can't see WWE letting talent like him just go to complete waste already.

    Hell, I think I actually prefer watching the 8 NXT wrestlers (even Tarver and Otunga) over the majority of the actual wrestlers they have on their main shows. Eliminating any of them just seems like a massive waste of talent.

    Bryan Danielson will be wrestling under his own name now in FCW until he gets called up to the main roster.

    It's lame he's bein sent back to the minors but at least he gets his real name back. Also after doing some research, it explains where a lot of the WWE's current 'big name' mid-carders came from.

    I was a little surprised at NXT last night...but that's a good thing. I wasn't surprised to see Sheffield or Tarver go, but not both of them plus Brian. I think we'll see more of Brian soon enough, but hope Tarver and Sheffield are gone for good. Neither ever impressed me.

    When I was watching TNA tonight, Aybss was taken away in a 1990's Chevy patrol car?

    Law enforcement don't use that type of car anymore.

    Kayfabe,that's the word you are looking for.

    Didn't catch TNA last night since I don't have cable or satellite,but come next week,I will have satellite so I can finally keep track on TNA.

    you both just butchered what Kayfabe is.

    The word you were looking for Ezilla is a work. Abyss being in trouble was a work. Abyss worked the crowd. etc etc
